Theo, Its probably an OK IPAS. I've heard that people have had good results with it. I don't have personal experience with it but I do with Quicktime. Quicktime can be a little flaky sometimes. But if the system is designed for Quicktime you should be ok. Your idea sounds good but if you read the whole thread its talks about hardware advances and systems becoming obsolete. The gist is: how long are those high-end and high-priced systems going to be around? Granted what your clients are using are super systems and the output is great but if your target audience is going to watch your stuff on a cheap WalMart TV under poor lighting conditions whats the point? My question is whether running Speed Razor under NT with a PVR board and a few 9gig Micropolis drives will doom all of the high-end systems. Time will tell. This market has moved from its botique image to more of a commodity nature. I do the linear thing with a Fast Machine and the non-linear thing with a PAR board. I decided to stay with raw footage for now and not digitize it except to the PAR as an ANI file. I waiting for the digital Beta SP cameras to come down in price before I try and eliminate tape altogether expect for a final master. However I will be buying a PVR and at least 4 9gig drives to do the non-linear thing. By selling my Fast Machine and 3 of the 5 VTRs, I will more than pay for the PVR and Speed Razor and the dual DEC Alpha to run them on. Didn't mean to get off the subject but I thought I would give you the whole enchilada. Mark
